IN MY MOTHERS FOOTSTEPS

Mona grew up with her mother Zakia's memories of Palestine so vividly described to her that she longs to experience it. When she gets offered the opportunity to teach conflict resolution Ramallah, she embarks on a personal pilgrimage to find her mother's home in militarized and occupied Jerusalem. Mona imagines a day when her mother will take her hand and guide her through the Old City, yet it is Mona who holds her mother's hand when they finally visit Jerusalem together. Can a lifetime of loss ever be healed?
